After-School Outdoor Explorers

Join us at Standley Lake as we explore the natural world around us! The after school outdoor explorers program is designed for children who are interested in investigating the natural world. Each month, we'll explore a different ecology topic, focusing on the outdoors. We'll make a craft to take home, go on a nature hike, play games, and much more! A light snack is provided. Outdoor attire highly recommended. Park entrance fee and pre-registration required, call 303-425-1097 or visit https://prl-web.ci.westminster.co.us/scripts/webtrac.wsc/wbsplash.html?w...
